How to Apply

There are two ways to receive the Historic Preservation Program application materials: electronically or by mail. If you prefer the mail option, just send us your address and we will send out the packet right away. If you prefer the electronic option, the links below facilitate completion of the application. These links are to the Historic Preservation Program Application, a prospective student letter from the Program Director, and the Program Prospectus, as well as links to the Graduate School application as there are separate applications for the Historic Preservation Program and the Graduate School.

In the meantime you can review our program description online. Also, the Office of Financial Aid's link to financial resources can be found here. The Graduate School's website and online application for Financial Aid are also available online; click on the 'Financial Assistance' link in the 'Apply Online' box.
